does the s10 come with a screen protector?

So I've been reading that the s10 may come with a preinstalled screen protector similar to the One plus 6T
Can anyone confirm that??

On the Best Buy website is shows it includes a screen protector. Does not say whether it is installed or not. I attached a screen capture.

Possibly, here's a link for a YouTube video that a creator saw when using. Jump to the 3 minute minute mark or just watch the whole thing.

I believe two screen films and silicone case is included in box but I was not able to find that link to verify.

tempered glass screen protector?

Hi guys, i have been looking on amazon and i cant seem to find a tempered glass screen protector, anyone know where to buy it?

Look here:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000375464335.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.34de4c4dHq9TK4

I bought the Asling from gearbest but it has a "hole" in the finger sensor part, it has glue there which can be seen when you use the phone.
Is there any other good screen protector? I'd prefer with a selfie camera hole to not have flare on certain angles.

Yeah it's not a problem buying anything there it's about the shipping time if you willing to wait 1 and a half month to get the screen protector no problem

I used a tempered glass for 1 day and removed it again (from Gearbest https://www.gearbest.com/screen-protectors/pp_009176272936.html?wid=1433363 They simply deleted my 3-Star-Review). It also had that glue at the fingerprint position, which was very annoying.
Besides that I noticed that touch sensitivity is not that good with the tempered glass. For fingerprint unlock you had to press very hard/deep to get the fingerprint recognized.
I also tried to increase touch sensitivity with a trick I found online (Settings - Additional Settings - Languages & input - Keyboard, mouse, and track pad - Pointer speed: Increase Pointer speed for more sensitivity) but it didn't help at all.
Does anyone know a good tempered glass with curved edges, without the fingerprint glue and supporting nearly the original touch sensitivity?

Anyone had any problems with the proximity sensor not working? I have applied a thin film type screen protector that seems to prevent the proximity sensor from working

its hard to expect good TG for this kind of curving phone. I think hydrogel is a safer and better option. Not to mention it's cheap. (USD 1.2)

There are lots of problems with the proximity sensor, with or without screen protectors, don't worry. Should be fixed with an update

I got a Mocolo UV tempered glass screen protector on my Mi Note 10. In-screen fingerprint sensor works perfectly. Bought from Swedish online store. Can't seen to find it anywhere else right now.. so perhaps not to helpful.
Update: Found it here, not a clue if this site is safe or anything as I never used it. But this is the kind of screen protector I have.

Question Fingerprint Sensor problems

I keep having issues with my fingerprint sensor... constant "fingerprint doesn't match" or "Press Harder" or "... cover the whole area..."
This is with a whitestone dome on the phone...
Anyone else having this issue?

I have a galaxy s21 ultra being used with a case by a company called you maker. It originally came with a plastic sticker that was protected and covered. That circular plastic sticker allows the finger to be read using the ultrasonic technology while being in a case. There's another technology that uses light to make almost a 2d image of your print. Try without the case and see if it works. Also sorry about you inconvenience.

well... there's no way i'm gonna take the whitestone dome off since its cured... just wondering if other peeps with WD tempered screens have the same issue with the fingerprint sensor

Had that issue with my S10+ as well. Try removing fingerprints then adding them again - assuming you didn't register after installing the screen protector. Another thing I had done was register the same fingerprint multiple times.

I have the WD screen protector on my S21 Ultra and I'm having issues with my fingerprint sensor also. I'm very disappointed because for the price, I expected it to be fully compatible with the fingerprint sensor.

The Samsung ultra comes with x2 screen protectors people rip the first one off or finger print sensor will not work i found this out the device has a second screen protector so no need to worry

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but did you take off the factory installed screen protector that comes with the S21 Ultra? Not the one that you take off when you first remove it from the box (sort of a dust protector) but there is an actual screen protector there - very hard to see unless you look very close - if you did not remove that, then that is most likely your problem. If you did remove that before installing then I am not sure why you are having issues. Either way - best of luck my friend.

Only exynos variants come with screen protector, My U and U1 arrived without it. So just need to ensure finger print is re-registered. Did not use whitestone dome due to experiences with note 9 glass but the spigen glass is working well with finger prints once registered after application

Yes, I removed the original film that was on there. I also went to the "Display" menu and increased the touch sensitivity option. In addition to that, I registered the fingerprint of my thumb 3 times. I can't seem to unlock my phone in the 1st attempt. It usually takes multiple attempts for it unlock. From a visual point of view, the screen protector installed perfectly. I just wish it was fully compatible with the fingerprint sensor.

this is the exact same thing i'm experiencing!!! So annoying! I wrote to Whitestonedome and asked for a refund. Plus the bottom of the whitestonedome's glass is starting to peel ... even though it was cured and everything was fine for four straight days.
And no, the phone did not come with a pre-installed screen protector.

For what it's worth, the Fingerprint sensor works awesome for me. I have not added a glass screen protector and probably won't. For now, I am simply relying on the one installed by Samsung at the Factory - but I also have another Film Protector from AM-FILM that I will use if necessary. Very happy with how fast the FP sensor is - much better than on my previous phones....

Have both 21 ultra and whitestone dome glass installed. I have noticed that my finger slids a little not being use to glass as I tried for the life of me to use glass with my s10+. Couldn't get whitestone to work so I got zagg fusion glass. I have also noticed that if you have dry ass fingers, like after washing, it won't recognize your print. Try with lotion!

If only Samsung ditched the curved display for a flat panel, then we can buy "normal" screen protectors at fair prices.

The curve screen is a little annoying but also satisfying also

I have problems with original screen protector sometimes, registered finger only 1 time but I get same errors might just peel it off but don't know will it help any

I haven't removed the screen protector that comes with the phone from factory (not the one that you peel when you take it off the box... No issues with fingerprint sensor.. I had a note 20 ultra and I did the stupid mistake of removing the one from factory and putting one from amazon that had the circle for fingerprint.. I had to readd all prints and the worst thing is that it would miss more than hit. When I got my s21 ultra I was smart enough to keep the protective film that came with it. Other than that, I would suggest custom made with hydrogel (something I have seen where I live) which is flexile yet durable and works great with fingerprints.

I installed a generic £4 UV glass screen protector from ebay. Initially I had the exact same issue. But now it works for me. The trick I realised is to remove the old finger prints and re-register them. You will need to register the same finger 2 or 3 times and you will need to use a little more pressure when using the fingerprint scanner to unlock. It is still not as reliable as it would be without a screen protector and you will get a few misses but it gets the job done. I prefer using face unlock most of the time and use the fingerprint scanner only to make payments, access the banking app etc and for that it works fine I just need to press into the screen gently vs just placing my finger on the scanner as I would otherwise.

I don't understand how people claim that screen covers work perfectly well with with this phone's fingerprint sensors. i have tried AMfilm glass, and two soft ones by unique me and... even after the extra sensitivity was turned on, the fingers would fail most of the time. since you only get 5 tries before it locks.... so annoying... are the people that write those ratings all bs?? btw.. first experience with an ultrasonic sensor and it kinda blows..... am i out of luck? never had a phone without a screen cover ..... sigh

If you don't mind not having glass, a zagg will work for sure as I had it on my S10+. Currently running whitestone and if my fingers are just washed, it won't work. But if I rub them together or add lotion to my hands, it reads it with no problems. I have also added my print a few times in different variations like the side of my thumb and the tip of my thumb to make sure it can read any part of my thumb

Question Asus Zenfone 8 Screen protector?

Hi everyone,
I just bought a RhinoShield impact protection for my zenfone 8. However, as far as I know, all devices or most of the flagship Android devices now have a "pre-installed" plastic screen protector. Now, I'm trying to scratch off mine to remove it before I put my impact protection however I can't seem to see that there's one. I'm afraid that there's none and scratch the main screen itself.
Can anyone confirm if there's a "pre-installed" plastic screen protector for our Zenfone 8 devices before I put my sharp knife and tools to try and remove it.

aw sheesh. thanks for confirming, I'll apply the impact protection now then.

Just wanted to add that you should brace yourself for pretty awful performance of the fingerprint scanner after installing the screen protector. I basically had to stop using it. I really miss the times of fingerprint scanners on power buttons

They fit quite okay (a bit too short in width, but that's okay with me)

It is foil, not glass, so the fingerprint sensor may be working properly. I would like to have a glass that does not affect the sensitivity of the sensor ...

Question Blue hue shift on screen

I got my phone yesterday and started noticing specially in white background a slight blue hue when tilting the phone or even by looking straight at it, I can see it at the top and bottom of the screen if looking straight.
My ocd is always kicking in and I can't unsee it.
I've tried different color modes but it's still there.
Am I the only one ? I searched a bit and it seems "normal" in amoled screens but how could it be normal, I've never had phones with amoled but always heard it's the superior screen but to me it's not looking good.
I'm happy with the phone as I couldn't stand anymore my old trusty honor 9 with it's old battery with 3h sot and frequently laggy and outdated software but I must say the honor 9 feels and looks premium where this feels meh. the plastic frame even has some very small dents from manufacturer.
The worst thing is I paid 340€ for the honor when it came out and this for 450€ should be equal or even better in everything.

Really ?
I was thinking of buying a glass protector for it but can't find any.
What I noticed is that the Neo 2 looks exactly the same as the GT 2, even the camera layout.
I'm tempted to buy the ibywind version, looks like the most complete with the frame aligment.

I've been looking on ebay and most listings for cases have Neo 2 / GT 2 in them. Screen size is the same and camera placement looks similiar. If it has GT 2 in the listing and doesn't fit then you should get a full refund at lesat as you can say item not as described

Do you have the same issue with the screen ?
I was going to buy the ibywind glass today as it looks it's the only one with the hole for the selfie cam so it should be the better one I guess. All the other chinese random name brands don't have it for some reason.
I also noticed some of them listing gt neo 2/gt 2 compatible.
But there's some people complaining about the fingerprint sensor not working properly after so I'm holding the buy for now. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks more products and reviews come out.
Looks like this GT series was a fail. Barely any videos, reviews, accessories. The lack of posts in this forum tells the same.
Realme should sell glass protection for their phones as they show a warning about using only approved realme screen protectors but where are they ?

I keep my phone on dark mode most of time and force dark mods where possible, I haven't noticed any issues but then I cannot see any issue with the pictures you posted either so maybe my eyesight is weaker.
I saw that but setting up fingerprint again after new protector should get rid of issues.
I myself am going to wait a little while and just use case + cover supplied until there is supplier based in my country so I don't have to import from china
